Update Pregnancy (birthing an unborn)

Updating the status of the Pregnancy when the baby is born or the pregnancy terminates:

1. From the Detail Master Case window, select the pregnant mother. Either double click on the person or highlight and select the person icon.
2. From the Person Detail window, select the Demographics push button
3. From the Person Demographic Data window, select update pregnancy.
4. Enter the birth date of the baby in the end date
5. Select the reason of birth
6. When you select the OK push button, the Add Person window will appear so you can add the name of the child.

Note: You can updated the pregnancy for 60 days after the child is born. The Update pregnancy button will be enabled for 60 days after the child is born. After the 60 days the update pregnancy button will no longer enable.

Note:  When the mother is pregnant with multiples (twins, etc.), the Update Pregnancy function can be used for one newborn’s information.  Other newborns must be added as a New Person to the Master Case.  Their Household Status begin date should be the month of birth.  

For Example:

If twins were born 9/26/07, one would be updated by the Update Pregnancy button.  The second twin would be added to the MC as a new person, and to the program case, with a begin date of 9/1/07.  Budgeting for September would need to be re-run, so the second twin would have benefits.
